Kilmer’s injury wasn’t significant, but he doesn’t play on defense and was expendable. He’ll go on injured reserve once he clears waivers.

Coker led the Panthers in receptions and targets, becoming Bryce Young’s go-to guy in the fourth quarter and overtime. It caps a nice rookie season for Coker, an undrafted rookie who emerged as one of Young’s most reliable pass catchers this season. Coker had 32 receptions for 478 yards and two touchdowns, with an impressive receiving success rate (55 percent). If Carolina does not upgrade its receivers room this offseason, Coker could be a leading candidate to function as a top-two pass catcher for Young in 2025.

The Cowboys were looking for production behind CeeDee Lamb all season, and got some with Jalen Tolbert. He caught 49-of-79 passes for 610 yards and seven touchdowns this season. With Brandin Cooks missing time, Tolbert worked both out of the slot and on the perimeter, making plays in the intermediate range for the multiple Cowboys quarterbacks. Tolbert enters the final year of his rookie deal in 2025 and profiles as a WR4 for Dynasty leagues. He has a real chance of permanently taking the Cowboys’ No. 2 wideout role, though the team could still look to add to the receiver room in the offseason.

Sermon did not record a carry in his final game of the year. Sermon joined the Colts early in the 2023 season after being cut by the 49ers and then again by the Eagles. He was quickly promoted to the active roster and made enough of a mark to earn a one-year contract with the team in the offseason. Sermon was called into action in 2024 when Jonathan Taylor suffered an ankle injury in Week 5. He ran 28 times for 67 yards at a dismal 2.4 yards per carry across two starts. Sermon also scored once and caught six passes for 25 yards, all of which came in the first start. By Taylor’s third absence, the Colts had seen enough of Sermon and relegated him to backup duties. Upon Taylor’s return, Sermon retained the backup role but was held to three or fewer touches in all but one game. Sermon will be a free agent in the spring. He should be able to find work as a backup and a special teamer, but it’s hard to imagine a landing spot that keeps him on the fantasy radar in 2025.

Caught between the Bears’ conservative approach and sometimes operating as the only viable target, Moore finishes the season with a robust 98 catches for ... 966 yards. He does clear 1,000 when you add in his rushing, but 2024 was a major statistical step backward after Moore blew up with Justin Fields last season. His 9.9 yards per catch were a new career low by 2.5. The other number was posted in the darkest days of recent Panthers history. It still had more to do with the Bears’ awful protection and Williams’ questionable decision-making. Constantly besieged, Williams led the league in sacks. That’s why the coaching staff’s seemingly never-ending focus was short targets to Moore. It’s nice that Moore can compile the way he did, but he’s capable of so much more down the field. Whom the Bears hire to replace Matt Eberflus will determine everything about Moore’s 2025 fantasy status. Anything from low-end WR1 to undependable WR3 is in play.

Strange began his second NFL season as a backup and a blocker but was thrust into the starting role in Week 2 when Evan Engram suffered a hamstring injury in pre-game warmups. Strange went for 65 yards in that game and then scored a touchdown in two of his next three starts, giving him three TE1 performances before Engram returned. Strange resurfaced late in the season when Engram got hurt again, catching 11 passes for 76 yards in Week 15. Both numbers were career-highs. Strange may have done enough to push Engram for snaps in 2025, but he is unlikely to have a fantasy-relevant role heading into Week 1 of his third season.

Dowdle ends his productive 2024 with another workhorse game and touchdown score. He finishes with 235 carries for 1,079 yards, two rushing touchdowns and two fumbles, adding 39 receptions for 249 yards and three receiving touchdowns. Entering 2024 with a murky backfield, the Cowboys decided not to add much and Dowdle eventually took over with what became a fantasy RB2 season. He wasn’t the most efficient or explosive, but did enough to maintain a lead role for a non-playoff team. The Cowboys could be looking to add to the backfield after ignoring the running back position last offseason, giving Dowdle competition. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on the situation as Dowdle is an RB2 with this exact role next season, but he did not do anything special to make it out of the offseason unscathed.

It was a forgettable end to a forgettable season for Pitts. For the third straight year, the former first round pick was among the most disappointing players in all of fantasy football. New Falcons OC Zac Robinson, like Arthur Smith before him, had little idea of how to properly utilize Pitts, who is neither a tight end nor a wideout. Targeted on a humble 15 percent of his pass routes, Pitts managed 45 receptions in 2024, below his 53-catch total from 2023. He had a career-high four touchdowns, one of which came from Michael Penix. Pitts, who had just two games with more than four catches this season, will likely be over-drafted by fantasy gamers once again in 2025 because he was highly touted coming out of college four years ago.

Bellinger stepped into a starting role after rookie Theo Johnson landed on injured reserve with a season-ending foot injury. Assuming Johnson is healthy next season, Bellinger will return to his normal role as a lightly-used backup, giving him little-to-no fantasy upside in 2025.

Jennings entered the game 77 yards short of 1,000 on the year. Inconceivably, he committed personal fouls on back-to-back plays in the second quarter and was ejected 25 yards shy of 1K. Not smart, especially with the Niners making a concerted effort to get Jennings there. He had seven more looks than any other player. 27-year-old former seventh-rounder Jennings — who spent his 2020 rookie year on the Niners’ practice squad — was surprisingly signed to a two-year, $15.39 million extension in May. He immediately showed why, breaking out in Brandon Aiyuk’s absence even after the 49ers used a first-round pick on Ricky Pearsall. All of Jennings’ 77/975/6 were more than double his previous career highs, save for the touchdowns. After two mid-season hot streaks, Jennings did look like more of a role player down the stretch, but he’s proven beyond a doubt he can be one of the league’s best No. 3 wideouts, and a No. 2 in a pinch. With the 49ers’ receiver room uncertain amidst Aiyuk’s knee woes and Deebo Samuel’s decline, Jennings could remain a top-36 option in 2025.
